We consider the nonlocal KPP-Fisher equation $u_t(t,x) = u_{xx}(t,x) + u(t,x)(1-(K *u)(t,x))$ which describes the evolution of population density $u(t,x)$ with respect to time $t$ and location $x$. The non-locality is expressed in terms of…

We study the existence of solitary waves in a diatomic Fermi-Pasta-Ulam-Tsingou (FPUT) lattice. For monatomic FPUT the traveling wave equations are a regular perturbation of the Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation's but, surprisingly, we find…

We investigate the singular limit, as $\ep \to 0$, of the Fisher equation $\partial_t u=\ep \Delta u + \ep ^{-1}u(1-u)$ in the whole space. We consider initial data with compact support plus, possibly, perturbations very small as $\Vert x…

We consider the one-dimensional Fisher-KPP equation with step-like initial data. Nolen, Roquejoffre, and Ryzhik showed that the solution $u$ converges at long time to a traveling wave $\phi$ at a position $\tilde \sigma(t) = 2t - (3/2)\log…
